Working with Lauren and the entire team at Clement & Co was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Lauren made us feel calm and supported. She just got us, our vision, and what mattered most to us. She guided us through every step of the process with so much thoughtfulness, care, and expertise. What really stood out is how seamless and stress free she (and her amazing team) made everything. Whenever we felt overwhelmed, Lauren was there with reassurance and solutions. On the day itself, she and the Clement & Co team were unbelievable. Everything was handled behind the scenes so we could actually be present and enjoy our day. We did not worry about a thing, and that peace of mind was priceless. Beyond her professionalism, Lauren became such a special part of our story. She celebrated with us, calmed our nerves, and felt just as invested in our wedding as we were. And her team, who supported us on the day, went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly. We are so grateful to Lauren and everyone at Clement & Co. They are not just planners, they are the dream team you want by your side on the most important day of your life. We could not have imagined our wedding without them.
Alex is the consummate professional. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things wedding-related, an enviable network throughout the city and wider region, a perfectionist's approach to client relations, and one of the finest eyes for design I've ever had the honour of working with. This is all on top of her exquisite taste. Without Alex our wedding would not have happened; even if it did happen, it would have looked nothing like the elevated and elegant affair that it was. We're lucky to have found Alex, and we're lucky to be able to call her a friend. Do yourself a favour and give her a shout.
Our planner Claire went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. She thought of every detail and was insanely organized at all times. She took care of everything allowing us to really be present and enjoy the experience. She really understood our vision and made it a reality. 10/10 recommend!!!!
We’ve been debating whether to post this review or not over the last six months since our wedding. It’s rare that we write a negative review, as both of us firmly believe that people are usually trying their best, however, there were a number of issues throughout the entire full service planning process that make it hard to recommend working with B&B. During the initial call, we were sold on the combined team of Alex (owner) and Amanda (planner), specifically “two heads are better than one”. In reality, once we signed a full planning contract, Amanda was the sole contact barring one major “vision” meeting. Pre-Event 1. Quotes and contracts were consistently missing information or had incorrect information. When a quote was done incorrectly by a vendor, Blush & Bowties did little to go to bat for us, instead offering a vendor-serving compromise. We had to flag an error in the food contract that was not as discussed. 2. Details matter, especially when wedding planning. Simple things like having our planner tell us we have two signature drinks in our bar package only to find out from Alex, the owner, that we actually have three. Or that draping had to be specifically purchased and brought in mere months out (an unexpected expense) and it hadn’t included in the budget breakdown given to us. Unified communication from B&B was few and far between. 3. Amanda seemed stretched thin throughout the planning process. We escalated these concerns to Alex but were told it was fine. Day of 1. Building on attention to detail and communication themes, small items went awry, for instance the wrong white wine being served without a heads up on the switch. The floor plan didn't materialize as mapped out (i.e. grazing table was put against a wall vs middle of the cocktail area to promote conversation), the podium for speeches was placed on the other side of the wall–causing some confusion for our MC who we had placed specifically beside the podium in the floor plan. 2. Centerpieces were not wrapped / placed in containers after dinner so guests could take them home. We had requested this in writing weeks in advance only to have a guest ruin her dress when she went to take one and had water drip down her gown. 3. We were assured a few weeks out that they would have staff present until the close of the event. That junior team member, through no fault of their own, was left in the dark on many of our requests (e.g. floral wrapping), or the proper timing of them. They were unable to offer assistance other than to call Alex, who couldn’t help as she was not there and Amanda had already left. Post Event 1. There was no follow up or check in to see how the day went, what could be improved moving forward, or any questions we may have. Client service fell flat, which has left a sour taste in our mouth after all the time spent working together. We’ve scored B&B two stars as it’s evident that Alex has a great design aesthetic and cares about her businesses. However, it's clear that she has pivoted focus to scaling out other endeavors (i.e. Archive Studios) which leaves clients of B&B to the wayside. Considering we paid for the full planning package, expectations are understandably high. As such, we cannot in good conscience recommend working with Blush & Bowties and recommend you look elsewhere for full planning services.
Blush and Bowties planned our wedding in 2021. Alex's organization and professionalism was fantastic. Everything was very transparent and she helped us throughout the planning process all the way up to the night of our wedding. We couldn't be happier with Blush and Bowties! They made a wedding that really felt like us. It was so comforting to have a wedding planner that was always in your corner ready to help and always friendly! Even if you are having a smaller wedding like we did I would still recommend a planner and Blush & Bowties met all our expectations!
Blush & Bowties is one of the most talented planning + design company I've worked with. They work so well with all the vendors involved and have a calm way of keeping the day moving smoothly!
Words cannot accurately express how appreciative and grateful we are to Alex and her team for their help in designing and planning our perfect wedding. Without a doubt, they were the most valuable resource, exceeding our expectations with their talent and professionalism. From our initial meeting to well after our wedding, they handled every detail with so much warmth and elegance. Thank you Alex and team, for helping to make our special day so magical and memorable!
